Melaka's coconut kung fu master - anyone seen him?

Hi travellers,

Has anyone been to Melaka and seen the famous Dr Ho Eng Hui, a kung fu master known for impaling a coconut on his finger?

I was in Melaka a few weeks ago and didn't see him, but internet sources differ on the question of whether he's in retirement or still doing his coconut-stabbing trick. Anyone seen him?

A link with info, for anyone curious about what I'm on about: http://www.thestar.com.my/Lifestyle/People/2013/11/08/His-finger-of-steel/

We were there in Oct 2014 - we did not see him. Ask at the hotel and a few shops as well. They all said he was no longer there.
